Reply To: Correcting a misconception about parnassah

DH:

100%. But who are you to say that YOU (or anyone, for that matter) deserve it?

Perhaps the money is better spent on your own child’s tuition?

If one decides to give, then all good. But when one expects to be supported, just because they decided to learn, that is Magiah Li.

I’m not sure if you get the difference, so I will give a simple example.

1: Rothschild meets up with a guy in BM who sits for 18 hrs a day 365 and learns. He decides to support this Masmid.

2: Rothschild’s son decides “I want to go learn, and Daddy, you will pay all my bills”.

First is all good, and a Y&Z relationship, the second is Magiah Li.

And yes, it is a matter of attitude and ability, which I refered to before.

No one is entitled to be supported, and no one has the excuse to be an Ani by choice and therefore require support.
